Move the cursor over the face







Move live space entries to blogger ... the round-about way ...

Used live space mover ( http://b2.broom9.com/?page_id=519) to move my live space entries to wordpress.

Eclipse project for Silverlight

Silverlight plugin for Eclipse  http://www.eclipse4sl.org/

Install Apache Solr on Windows

Download and install lastest Java sdk

Download and install Tomcat 6

set JAVA_HOME and CATALINA_HOME env variables

download apache solr

Unzip and copy solr-.war to %CATALINA_HOME%/webapps/solr.war

Create Solr_Home where index will be stored ... for this create a JNDI entry solr/home

The easiest way is to copy 'solr' directory from the examples folder that came with your solr download.

start up tomcat and browse to http://localhost:8080/solr/

 

 

Tomcat 6 startup problem

Tomcat 6 server was not starting up.

Kept getting Java_Bind error  for port 8005.

Changed the shutdown port value to 8006 in conf/server.xml ... that solved the problem.
